[div style="0px; width:400px; height:auto; text-align: justify; font-size: 9pt; line-height:13px; text-transform: lowercase;"]NOAH SUMMERS — sweetheart of sigma chi, you make me wish i was a catholic, with only just a year or two to live

— noah summers was born to evagelina elikolani-summers, thalia summers, and miguel madera in honolulu, hawaii on the twelfth of august. her having three parents may seem complicated, but it's really pretty simple: evagelina and thalia couldn't conceive on their own, so they asked miguel, who thalia had known since middle school, to serve as a sperm donor. trust me, the initial conversation was definitely less awkward than this explanation, but all you need to know is that noah has two moms and a dad and honestly has never thought twice about it.
— the only thing noah really thinks is weird about her family situation is why three perfectly sane adults decided to give her twice the normal amount of middle names. both of her middle names come from famous hawaiian woman — queen liliuokalani, the last monarch of evagelina's native hawaii, and rell sunn, a surfing legend who was said to have been the first female lifeguard in oahu — which she thinks is pretty cool except for the fact that she couldn't correctly spell her full name until she was eleven.
— she and her moms lived in hawaii for about three years after she was born, when thalia was offered a job as a radiation therapist at one of seattle's many hospitals. the move went pretty well, the only problem being that noah missed her 'papa' so much she spent most of their first few weeks in seattle throwing messy, tear-filled tantrums. thankfully, plane tickets existed, and it became a tradition for the whole family to go back to honolulu for the holidays.
— to be honest, noah doesn't really have a particular style. like most people's it changes according to the season, but here it is: during the summer, she's always wearing shorts and an "aesthetic" t-shirt over her swimsuit, which she wears constantly, and flip flops, and during any other time of the year she just wears whatever's the most trendy at the time, like ugg boots or skirts that button up in the front.
— she loves dogs, but only certain kinds. she loves any dog bigger than a bichon frise, but thinks anything smaller than that (besides a poodle, she hates poodles with a passion) is the actual devil. when she was about five, her moms took her to an adoption fair fully expecting her to just grab whichever tiny dog she could get her hands on and be satisfied, but unfortunately for them, noah went right for the only russian bear dog puppy at the whole fair, which is how they ended up with bubby.
— she's for sure the kind of girl who's involved in whatever mentorship program her school has, and honestly, noah's just super involved in school in general. she's definitely popular, but in the nonchalant way where sure, people know who she is, but her circle is still pretty small.
— noah doesn't care that much about social media. she has a ton of accounts, but the only ones she really pays much attention to are her snapchat, her twitter, and her finsta. but on the bright side, she's one of those people who replies to texts almost immediately.
— it was her dad's idea to enroll her in one of honolulu's hālau hula so she could learn the hula and have a greater connection to her culture when she was ten. her moms thought it was a great idea, but noah hated it because she didn't want to be more hawaiian — she wanted to fit in with her white friends, and doing something "ethnic" wasn't the way to do it. it also didn't help that the kumu insisted on using her first middle name instead of calling her noah, but she grew to love it and clearly her hard work paid off.
— evagelina's mother lives in honolulu, so whenever noah is there visiting her dad, she makes sure to see her tutu. visiting her other grandparents requires a lot more effort, since both thalia's parents and miguel's father live in texas, though they live right down the street from each other. she usually sees them for christmas.
— noah doesn't know how to surf. she's always wanted to learn, but she's too scared she'll fall off the board to really be open to learning it. so for now, she's just content with swimming. she was on a club swim team for about six years, when she quit to join her high school's team. she's the school's current record holder for quickest 400 meter freestyle, which she's pretty proud of it.
— she's not exactly sure what she is sexuality-wise. she knows she likes girls and guys, but she's not that interested in sex. she isn't really sure if that qualifies as "asexual" so she just identifies as bisexual.

[div style="0px; width:400px; height:auto; text-align: justify; font-size: 9pt; line-height:13px;"]SVEA SÖRENSSEN — and if you'd just believe in yourself we can tune out everyone else. that's alright.

— svea sörenssen was born to astrid lindgren and bernhard sörenssen on the third of march in stockholm, sweden. her mother was a prominent black model of the 80s and 90s while her father served as the chairman for sweden's largest chain of banks. svea only has two siblings, an older sister named stella and a younger brother named sverre who are both involved in the modeling industry as well.
— she started modelling when she was about three, in a shoot her mom did just after her little brother was born to show off how quickly she'd bounced back from her pregnancy. from there, she started with simple old navy shoots before getting signed to wilhelmina models at the age of fifteen along with her sister stella and walking runways for dolce and gabbana and moschino and the like, though she's mostly known for walking in the yeezy shows and for her title as a victoria secret angel.
— svea spends half the year in new york and the other half back home with her parents in stockholm. out of all her siblings, she's home the most because she honestly does not like not being around her mom and dad. she knows it's so cheesy, and a little childish, but that hasn't stopped her from turning down gigs just because they aren't in stockholm.
— she's got over seven million followers on snap and she swears it's because all she does is post videos of her dogs — ronja and tindra. as a side note, tindra was a gift from some dense male model who desperately wanted to cuff svea, despite her constantly curving him. he finally got the hint, but only after svea had taken tindra back to stockholm with her.
— she honestly has the best style and at least 90% of the stuff she wears is from urban outfitters, with the rest of her clothes being gifts from designers that liked her. her style can basically be defined as "90s hoe, but fashion".
— swedish is her first language and her accent is still pretty strong when she speaks english. it's still understandable, but it's also obvious that english isn't her first language nor is it the one she prefers to speak, as whenever she's with her family they speak swedish, not english.
— her darkest secret is that she can't drive. she's failed so many drivers' tests in sweden and in america that her whole family's just given up on trying to help her and instead they're just thankful she could never drink and drive. as for why she's failed so many times, it's honestly because she doesn't have the attentiveness for it, if that makes sense.
— out of her and her siblings, she's the only one of them who was born a natural blonde. she dyed it black when she was sixteen to have a more uniform look with her siblings for a shoot they did together, and she's kept it ever since.
— "@vogue and literally everyone else stop whitewashing me and my family k thanks"
— she knows how to play hockey but it's honestly not her thing. her dad taught her and her siblings how to play it but only sverre really took to it. still, she goes to bruins games any chance she gets because she's lowkey trying to get cuffed by a hockey player, if we're being honest here.

[div style="0px; width:400px; height:auto; text-align: justify; font-size: 9pt; line-height:13px;"]MICKEY MAKURA — how do you make any event classy on a budget? red carpet. my entire apartment is red carpet. on top of that, leading into my bedroom, a second red carpet. oh, what's this in my shoe? red carpet insole. everywhere i go, i'm walking on red carpet.

— mickey makura was born mikaere kauri makura to henare and zelda makura on july twenty fourth in san marino, california. henare, a maori of the te whānau-ā-apanui iwi, worked as a screenwriter while zelda headed her own casting agency. as for siblings, mickey has two older twin sisters named kaia and aaria. he insists that even now they do nothing but "bully" him, but their apparent bullying is just them giving their honest opinion about the way he dresses when they're all in town for thanksgiving and his parents' birthdays.
— he's wanted to be a screenwriter since he was little, and his very first attempt at breaking into the industry came when he was sixteen. he wrote a pilot for your typical abc family teen drama that ended up not getting picked up by the network, but it gave him the kick in the ass he needed to start writing actual good shit, including episodes of shows like brooklyn 99 and still star-crossed.
— he went to ucla and majored in film productions, and honestly the whole four years was a complete mess. he was in an absolute ton of short films, only half of which were actually good/coherent, and he also drunkenly wandered into a few low-budget professional acting gigs. and speaking of drunkenly, mickey's about four mimosas away from full-out alcholism. he was much more into it in college, but now he only drinks what he calls "pākehā drinks" like champagne, expensive wine, and of course, mimosas. the man probably loves mimosas more than himself.
— his clothing style can be described the same way as a vacation in, say, hawaii gone wrong can — as one big tropical mistake. he's constantly wearing ugly prints and rompers (both before and after they were actually cool), and everyone who's ever met him wonders if he shops at forever 21. he doesn't, actually, as he's a cool dad who shops mostly at zumiez and h&m to be hip with the youth, but now none of us can escape the image of him wearing a bomber jacket with "i want tacos" embroidered on the back.
— he's constantly saying "my only regret in life is that ucla didn't offer a minor in beyoncé" because the man has stanned her since her destiny's child days. his most famous tweet (and the one he believes got him verified) is one in which he uses his new 280 characters to offer up beyoncé's full name and it goes as follows: "in the name of beyoncé of house knowles, the first of her name, the unfazed, queen of the singers, producers, and choreographers, breaker of records, and mother of the beehive, amen." his kids probably think it's lame, but they're all perfectly fine with being "dragged along" to her concert, "being forced" to sit front row, and "being saddled" with backstage passes.
— he grew up jewish but doesn't really consider himself to be religious. he still celebrates hanukkah with his parents, but he gave up eating kosher the minute he got to college.
— he has a supreme hoodie because once one of his kids said having one meant he had clout, something he's currently obsessed with, and now whenever he wears it he acts like he's so cool but he just looks lame but no one has the heart to tell him that.
— the only meme he fully understands is the "respect women juice" one and he's honestly ascended to the astral plane with it because dude not only has a cup labeled "respect women juice", but his twitter has so many variants like "we're drinking all respect black woman not just for their contributions to the overall culture of the world but because they're human beings juice always m8" that it's kind of become a meme in itself.
— so as for how this single, asexual man ended up with kids, it's simple, they're not actually his biological children, but the six or so kids he lets stay in his apartment because their home lives aren't that great. he has a part-time gig as a youth counselor and so sometimes if a kid ever needs a place to stay (especially because they've run away) they join the other kids just hanging out in his living room.
— in his three decades of living he had never considered owning a pet until one of his kids brought home a puppy from god knows where and now mikaere makura the second, junior for short, is the love of his life.

[div style="0px; width:400px; height:auto; text-align: justify; font-size: 9pt; line-height:13px;"]BOBBI CONALLY — now look at you, been walking in here looking all pretty and angry and mean and good.

— bobbi conally was born roberta shanese conally to denise conally and hakim brown on may seventeenth in detroit, michigan. her mom, who worked at the post office, had an on-again, off-again relationship with her dad, who worked in a chrysler factory. bobbi's an only child, but she does have some half-siblings on her dad's side, though she's only met two of them that she really likes — naya and shakur, who she still talks to whenever she gets the chance.
— she was always the best in her class through elementary and middle school, despite all the cards she had stacked against her. when she enrolled at cass tech high school, she was already taking two classes at wayne state university. she insists she wasn't a prodigy of any sort, as prodigies tend to burn out early in life and bobbi doesn't want to speak that into existence for herself.
— the happiest day of her life was when she got her acceptance letter from the university of michigan. her mom had been checking her branch of the post office for it even since she'd sent in her application, but the letter itself came about two days late, after bobbi had already had a nervous breakdown over it. once it finally did arrive, her mom photocopied it and sent a copy to bobbi's dad, grandparents, and uncle.
— bobbi never actually learned how to drive, which is why she greatly appreciates ann arbor's robust public transit system. she's a little bitter about the lack of a subway, but she's fine with it since she can fool bus drivers into thinking she's still in high school and getting reduced fare.
— she's majoring in political science, as it's her goal to become a political scientist, and if there's one thing she hates more than professors who don't give extra credit a week before final grades are due, it's business and finance majors. she thinks the beef between stem and humanities majors is useless, as they should all "band together to defeat the evil that are business and finance majors". where the vendetta against business and finance majors comes from, she's not sure, but she thinks it has something to do with the time a guy in a u of m business school sweatshirt cut in front of her at starbucks after she'd already been waiting for twenty minutes.
— she recently got into the studyblr side of tumblr after going few a few studyblrs and getting a pack of zebraliners for a secret santa she did with some of her floormates. she's pretty sure that at this point she's spent about three hundred dollars on highlighters, pens, and bullet journals just for the aesthetic, and she still hasn't figured out how to make notes on various boring political science topics fit the perfect studyblr vibe but she's working on it.
— one of the first things she did when she moved to ann arbor was see a psychiatrist for the first time in her life. why she had never been before is because of the stigma around mental health in her family specifically, and the black community in general. she was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder in december of her freshman year, and she still has yet to tell anyone in her family.

[div style="0px; width:400px; height:auto; text-align: justify; font-size: 9pt; line-height:13px; text-transform: lowercase;"]SIMRAN SIKAND — every time i feel fine, bad luck. end up on the wrong side, bad luck. yesterday was tough, i was having some bad times. love will pick me up, again.

— simran sikand was born to ajit and dhiya sikand on november thirtieth in san francisco, california. her parents are first-generation immigrants, both hailing from ludhiana, india. they both moved the us about ten years before simran was born for similar reasons — her mom wanted to go to med school and her dad wanted to found a tech startup. they were both successful, as by the time simran was born her mom was a neurosurgeon supervising her hospital's most complex surgeries and her dad's startup, sikand industries, was being publicly traded on wall street. simran only has one sibling, a sister named sohan who's younger than simran by about four years. they get along  pretty well most of the time, but it's worth noting that one of simran's many nicknames for her younger sister is "little brat".
— simran's attended private schools her whole life and she still doesn't understand why her parents thought it would be better for her than public school. her elementary school years were fine, as most of the kids "weren't assholes yet", but middle school was when things got rough. among other things, she tried (and failed) to be called ronnie because she got sick of kids calling her "cimarron", hit her growth spurt before most of the boys and was never asked to dance because of it, and in a last ditch effort to be cool, she and a few friends filled the school's koi pond with boxed mac-and-cheese cheese powder and killed all the fish. now that she's in high school she's pretty much past her cringe phase but the fact that it happened at all keeps her up at night.
— she's one of those people who's in all honors and ap classes but has no idea what the actual fuck is going on, and just aces the tests because she has a good memory. she's not above straight-up bullshitting an essay and turning it in four minutes before it's due without proofreading it because at this point, she's just flying by the seat of her pants, so as for how she has a 4.9 gpa, she's got no clue.
— she got her first skateboard as a birthday gift when she turned ten. the thing is, she didn't actually ask for it, so for a while she just let it sit in her closet. the first time she actually used it was in seventh grade, when it became her only mode of transportation once her bike was stolen. within a few years skating became a key part of who she is. at this point, she pretty much only hangs out with artsy skater types.
— she's 5' 10" and skinny, with a chest flat enough to write on. she tried all sorts of "i must, i must, i must increase my bust" kind of exercises but she's pretty much accepted it because she doesn't really wear much revealing clothing. all she wears is oversived hawaiian shirts over souvenir t-shirts, mom jeans, and vans. and though it's not something she brags about, she has exactly seven pairs of identical clout goggles, mostly because unlike most people, she actually looks good with them.
— simran identifies as a demigirl, but she hasn't actually told her family about it yet. she's not exactly worried that they'll disown her, as they're both pretty progressive — she just doesn't want to go through the work of explaining what being a demigirl means. she's sure they mean well, but her dad still isn't entirely sure that lgbt isn't a sandwich.
— she and sohan decided they wanted a dog, but their mom didn't want all the hair everywhere, so instead they teamed up and bought a gecko, and sohan named him harry, as at the time she was a huge one direction stan. simran hates his name, but it's too late to change it now.
— simran literally cannot talk to boys she's interested in for the life of her, and she's pretty much certain that it came from the one time in second grade where she confessed her love for a white boy named treyton and he made fun of her unibrow and walked away. is she bitter? no, not at all. did she egg his house nine years later in a childish act of revenge? yep.
— her dad wants her to go to stanford like he did and her mom wants her to go to her alma mater uc berkeley but honestly all simran wants to do is skate fast and maybe eat some ass. despite this, she's mostly likely going to attend/currently attending uc berkeley.

[div style="0px; width:400px; height:auto; text-align: justify; font-size: 9pt; line-height:13px; text-transform: lowercase;"]THEO ROSENFELD — whenever the sun don't shine on the west side, you know i'm sitting pretty right by your side. baby i'm down for you, i'm down for you. said baby i'm down for you, i'm down for you

— theo rosenfeld was born theodore abisha rosenfeld to inana rosenfeld on august ninth in tel aviv, israel where inana, an american journalist, met a man named gal kinneret. they were together for a few months until he revealed his true identity as the greek god poseidon just before inana moved back to the states, making theo one of many demigods all around the world. as for siblings, theo's technically an only child, if you don't count all the mortal half-siblings, minor gods, and occasional monster on his dad's side.
— he found out he was a demigod a few days before he turned fifteen. he'd been bugging his mom about his dad for years and she finally came out with the honest truth — that his dad is actually a greek god. theo likes to think he took the news pretty well, but he spent a whole hour saying "no way, no freakin' way" over and over so that's debatable. once he was over the initial shock, he went through the usual demigod dilemma of "to have daddy/mommy issues or not to have daddy/mommy issues". but he couldn't really be that mad, since poseidon was actually pretty involved in his life in one way or another, especially when he was younger.
— he grew up idolizing michael phelps and honestly had it not been for the whole demigod thing he already had going on, theo probably would've become an olympic swimmer. he joined his first swim team when he was four, after his mom lied about his age to get him on the team, and even now he's the third-best swimmer in the country (he'd probably be first if he weren't busy, you know, constantly fighting monsters and dodging prophecies).
— he has no problem driving over three hours to atlantic city just for his mom to braid his hair. most of the time he just wears his curls out but since he refuses to use ponytail holders and scrunchies for anything other than wrist accessories, if he wants his hair out of his face he goes to his mom to braid it for him.
— he's honestly one of these worst possible people to text because he cry-types both ironically and in all seriousness, and treats punctuation as a suggestion, like he will send you an entire paragraph with not a single period. at least he knows the difference between your and you're and their, there, and they're, most of the time.
— he has a theory that beyoncé is a demigod daughter of apollo but apollo won't take his iris messages so he can ask, and he's got too much pride to sit outside and yell at the sun.
— this boy is just a one big bisexual enigma, to be honest. if we're going to use percents, he's into guys about 30% of the time and girls the other 70%, but has literally never said he's bisexual. it's not like he's in the closet, it's just that he literally never brings it up so no one has any clue what his sexuality is unless someone actually asks him.
— and another thing, he walks around talking about how much of a thot he is, but the gag is, he's a virgin and he's only kissed two people — one was an aphrodite kid who wanted to see if he tasted like sea salt and the other was a girl from his swim team who cut his lips with her braces the one (1) time they made out.
— he only wears sleeves in the winter. the minute he gets them he cuts the sleeves off of all of his camp half-blood t-shirts and converts them into open-sided muscle tees, so most of the other campers are more familiar with his nipples then they'd like to be.
— he's chill most of the time but if anyone doesn't treat his mom like the goddess he thinks she is, he will respond with physical violence.
— he's one of the camp's lifeguards, which makes sense, in addition to being the unofficial camp gymnastics coach, which does not, until you see him do a round off back handspring full like it was nothing.

[div style="0px; width:400px; height:auto; text-align: justify; font-size: 9pt; line-height:13px;"]jasper mercier — awestruck or asinine, an ephemeral sense of space and time. a familiar face, a pulse that escalates. i'm stuck in strip mall times, i don't mean to be impolite.

— jasper mercier was born to jacques and virali mercier on april eleventh in montreal, canada. his dad, a french-canadian investment banker, met his mom, a gujarati philosophy professor, when he gave a lecture at mcgill university. jasper has two siblings, an older sister named vivienne and a younger brother named jean-luc, and the degree of their closeness tends to vary depending on how jasper feels about them at that moment.
— he's sort of a complicated person, to be completely honest. you'd think someone who grew up as spoiled as he did would be at least a little bit of an asshole, and he is, but not because of his money. he's a bit of an asshole just because he thinks he's the shit, nothing else to it. his abundance of self-confidence could be off-putting for a lot of people, but he's chill enough to still be likable.
— he is a completely momma's boy. he texts his mom every day when he's away at college and tells her almost everything (he makes sure to leave out how he hosts at least one hedonistic party a week). as for his dad, jasper gets along pretty well with him, but he's still bitter about the time when his dad cut his man bun off while he was sleeping when he was back home for thanksgiving break.
— he loves his hair more than he loves his little brother sometimes. he cried for an hour after his dad cut most of it off, but he immediately went to get a haircut because he would not be caught dead with jagged ends. once he even let a friend of his lay his edges and honestly the only reason he hasn't continued to do it is because he has no clue how to do it himself, so now the most extra he does with his hair is dye the ends with henna.
— his second favorite part about coming home (after being with his mom) is being with their dog, genevieve. she's jasper's baby and when she had to get surgery to get a benign tumor removed he skipped school for two weeks and missed three tests and quizzes just to be with her in montreal.
— he's in love with concept playlists he finds on tumblr. he first got into them when he was sick of listening to the same seven or so songs when he was in grade 12 so he just typed "playlist" into tumblr's search and it all just escalated from there. at one point, he started taking the playlist concept and writing little blurbs based off it while he listened to the playlist, and it's what's inspired him to become a writer. he doubts it could ever really happen, and plus his dad's pretty much guaranteed him a job at his firm so he figures what's the point of giving that up just for a random hobby he picked up. but he still plans to keep writing as long as he can. it's become a comfort thing for him, a way of expressing himself through characters of his own creation. it's become such an intimate thing to him that he hasn't told anyone about the concept playlists or his writing, he just doesn't want anyone getting too involved.
— there's so many pictures of him that can't be explained and if his mom ever saw them she'd probably cry, like this monstrosity. jasper doesn't even remember when or how that picture happened, but he absolutely refuses to let his mom see his phone because of it.
— he hasn't used all of the buttons on one of his button-ups since he was in year ten. his mom hates it and his sister thinks it makes him look trashy, but he refuses to stop because he still thinks it's cool.
— he goes to columbia, right in the heart of manhattan, because he loves the city life. he was so happy about getting admitted to columbia because the five or so times he'd visited new york city were the best times of his life.
— his music taste is all over the place, but it can be summarized as "anything but country and g-fucking-eazy". jasper hates g-eazy with a burning passion and honestly he can't really explain why, he's just got a primal hatred that pops up every time he listens to anything by g-eazy.

[div style="0px; width:400px; height:auto; text-align: justify; font-size: 9pt; line-height:13px; text-transform: lowercase"]DEMETRIUS KURTZ — round the city, round the clock. everybody needs you. no, you can't make everybody equal. although you got buku family, you don't even got nobody being honest with you.

— demetrius kurtz was born to mariah and carver kurtz on march seventh in los angeles, california. demetrius, who's also known by the thousand of monikers he's picked up over the years like demo and d, is the youngest of six children, with three older sisters and two older brothers. while demo is only twenty four, the second-youngest kurtz child is seventeen years older than him, and this age gap is one of the main reasons demo grew up to be so eccentric, to say the least.
— on second thought, we saying the most today, and demo is just weird as hell, to be honest. he owns three pairs of birkenstocks that he calls his "becky frappuccino 11's" and watches anime so much that the only thing stopping him from being a weeb is his own disgust with weeb culture. however, studio ghibli is and always will be his shit, and he owns a copy of every episode of dragon ball (the original series and all the subsequent reboots) there is, so basically, he's just a nerdy kid who never grew out of his anime phase.
— a lot of his nieces and nephews are either his age or older, so he's always either trying to assert his authority or chilling with them at any given moment. it's usually the latter, but once he fought his nephew because he threatened to "punch him in his lil bird chest" if he didn't stop making up new rules in uno. sure, he lost miserably and the kurtz family roasted him at every cookout since, but demo thinks of it as a learning experience.
— his family roasts him constantly, especially his siblings, but honestly they're all just sort of worried about him. he has a literature degree he can't really do much with, and he has a tendency to bounce from job to job. and when he isn't applying for his second job that month, he's coming up with a new business idea and sending his gofundme link in the family groupchat.
— he was a pretty good student in school, but his problem was that he was small, so he got picked on quite a bit. it didn't bother him much, though, since he had older siblings who were more than willing to fight his battles for him.
— he did a ton of acting in high school, but he considered more of a hobby than a serious career option.
— he almost started a fire in a golden corral with one of his brothers because they tried to toast the marshmallows from the desert part of the buffet and demo dropped the lighter on the carpet. demo insists that it wasn't that scary, but only because the look his mom gave him was scarier.
— growing up, demo had wanted a dog more than anything in the world. he asked for a puppy for christmas for four years straight, and when he was in fifth grade he finally got his wish, sort of. his parents got him a cat, thinking he'd hate it and ask them to take it back, but demo loved patches more than he loved his authentic dragon ball replicas.
— demo: *watches a ufc fight" oh damn what jutsu did this man just do?
— he bought a comic book store (with his mom and oldest sister's money) for his twenty-second birthday and ever since big d's comics and tees has been a huge success in south central. when he's not behind the counter, he substitute teaches at one of the local middle schools. he'll never admit it, but he's heard some crazy roasts during his time subbing that he's written down so he can use them against his nieces and nephews.

— kiki ishikawa was born akiko ishikawa to kaori and jonathan ishikawa on april eighteenth in orlando, florida. both of her parents are japanese — her mom runs a sweets shop meant to scam white hipsters downtown while her dad is a lawyer for disney world. kiki's an only child and honestly she's fine with it. she thinks she's too bossy to be a good younger sibling and not chill enough to be a good older sibling, so she really couldn't care less about being an only child.
— she has mixed feelings about being from orlando. sure, she loves her city, but the tourists get on her nerves and the locals are even worse. and if the people weren't bad enough, the abundance of amusement parks within a forty-five minute drive from her house makes her even more pissed off, especially since they were the destination of most of her field trips growing up. her senior quote was probably "if i have to go to the holy land experience one more time i'll throw rounds with jesus himself."
— she started going by kiki when she was ten and she met a girl who went by the same name at summer camp. after the camp was over, she straight up stole her nickname and isn't afraid to admit it.
— she was a lifeguard at the ymca for three years and she actually really liked it. the problem came with all the middle schoolers who would purposefully not listen to her to seem cool. she was usually pretty good at handling it until she finally just snapped and launched a pool noodle like a spear directly at one of the kids' head. she got fired the next day and pool noodles got banned from the pool, but kiki was pretty much unaffected by it because it gave her a chance to "focus on her music".
— so far, her "music" is just a soundcloud account with two songs with a few streams each. it's nothing too serious at the moment, but kiki swears she'll blow up once she finally goes off to college and moves out of her parents' place.
— she worked her ass off her senior year and got into amherst college, but she decided to take a gap year because she'd worked so hard she was on the verge of burning out. she's for sure going to school this year, mostly so she can get the hell out of orlando because she is absolutely sick and tired of the locals.
— she got really into poetry her freshman year and decided to join the poetry club, only to quit two months later when she realized it was bunch of weird white kids simultaneously trying to be a Woke Bae™ and complaining about how hard their privileged lives were. also, she decided if she had to hear another poem about how one of them did acid and it brought them closer to god she was going to throw rounds with everyone in the room at the moment.
— her ultimate goal is to become a high school chemistry teacher/mother of three (dogs) who produces soundtracks for beautifully-animated anime movies on the side.
— her paternal grandparents live down the street while her maternal grandmother lives in tokyo. she doesn't really like her paternal grandparents that much for two reasons: one, they had wanted to name her molly, and two, when she got her ears pierced they roasted her and she still hasn't forgiven them for it. she only gets to see her other grandma about once a year during the summer and she loves it honestly because her baba? an icon.
